Frank Iero takes us back to the early 2000s, talks symbolism and the Cellabration

- We chat with Frank Iero about the symbolism of The Cellabration, including the symbol he created in 2005, which is now a recurring design element across his art as well as the band name “frnkiero andthe cellabration” and how he can't seem to spell.
"In no way shape or form did I want to do a solo thing and call it my name,” Iero says. “Frank Iero… No one can pronounce it, no one can spell it, there’s too many goddamn vowels in it to be an actual standalone name.”
(For the record, folks, it’s pronounced “eye-ear-oh,” and most definitely not “Lero.”)
“I thought if I could name the band something that encompassed this outgoing party, maybe people would forget that I wasn’t that quintessential frontman.”
Iero also talks about their current tour with Taking Back Sunday and the Used (“It’s just been a great family environment”) and the quickly growing scene in the early 2000s when they first crossed paths.
“It was a ridiculous time for [My Chemical Romance],” Iero says. “We started to come up after TBS and Thursday and Midtown and Saves The Day, but I almost feel like we were reaching that level, and that was a dream come true because those were bands we were looking up to.”
Check out what Frank had to say about those things and more.
"my names frank iero, this is the first time I've met any of these fools"
HAHSHAHAHAHHAHA
Don't mean to brag but, I've always pronounced his name correctly.
Same
same ',:-)
same :-D
Yeah me too
Yeees
I lost it at "there's too many goddamn vowels"
its like fall out boy and thnks fr th mmrs all over again
He's so beautiful it makes me want to set myself on fire
You can set yourself on firrreeee
dephania x ppl have actually been doing that. 2016 everybody.
dephania x ME 24/7
mood
But you're never gonna burn
does he ever stop moving his hands it's so adorable
Is there a video that you haven't commented on lol
What tattoo does he not want us to read
Everyone on my moms side of the family talks with their hands “because we’re Italian” (those were her exact words)
People who oftenly move their hands while speaking are telling in true
What she says: I'm fine
What she means: I can't believe I've been pronouncing Frank's name wrong this whole time I feel like a horrible person I was pronouncing it Ear-ro and its eye-AiR-oh and I've let him down *sobs internally*
Ikr
Oh you know what you think that's bad I thought it was an L not an i
I read it as ee-air-oh because I heard that he had Italian roots and that's how you would read it in Italian
It's not eye-air-oh its eye-ear-oh lol
+Sally Schnauzer I always pronounced it ear-oh
the first thing I did when I became a fan (of mcr originally) was look up how to pronounce frank's name
same here
I just knew
So did I, but I continue to say it as "eye-air-oh" instead if "eye-ear-oh" because I'm too used to it, lol.
Trash Can i used to say it as "e-air-oh" hhh
yikes I can't get over it 😂
Thanks Frank for letting me know that i've been saying your name wrong for about nine years now.
Crystal Way EYE-EAR-OH! Spread the word throughout the lands! XD
Yessir!
+Crystal Way dont you mean 9 year-oh's
+Xochitl Ojeda lol
damn I always thought it was ear-oh I've been saying it wrong all this time
I'm in physical pain at Frank's perfection
same
Same
same
he's so pretty
i see people saying they said his name wrong, i actually said it right all along i feel proud
Haha same here
sAme
I think the reason I said Iero right from word go is something to do with speaking Irish. There are so many vowels in the words/names and other useless letters eg Shleamhnaigh Aoife ar an leac oighear (pronounced: shh-L-ow-nee Ee-fah air on lack eye-er. Means: Aoife slipped on the ice).
I used to call him Frank EE-roh for 2 years... Omg I feel so stupid 😂
Same
When I first heard of Frank I thought it was Frank Lero, Then when I realized it was an I, I managed to pronounce it right but god I'm stupid XD
I thought the l was an I too xD
Actually if you check out the credits at the Im not okay video, you can see clearly that says Frank Lero
@Maurogamer 3 Omg yes, I didn't notice hahahahahahahah
when mcr showed up my heart started beating really fast
mine too!! omg i got this weird feeling on my stomach
LET'S GET THESE TEEN HEARTS BEATING FASTER, FASTER (sorry I had to haha)
he's so smol
3:46 trIGGERED
SAME
I STARTED FCKING CRYING
whhyy
SAME FUUCK
I DIDNT EXPECT THAT I THOUGHT HE’D JUST MENTION MCR BUT IM ACTAULLY CRYING NOW WHY
Well the symbol makes so much more sense than I thought
"Hey I'm Frank Iero from frnkiero andthe cellabration..." *you could gut me with a spork and it would hurt less than this*
same lol im so used to "Hi, I'm Frank from My Chemical Romance" and hearing him say that sounds so weird
ACCURATE
im just normally watching a video about frnk iero and the cellabration and all of a sudden mcr pops up and i just go, jesus! warn me about this. god, my heart 😂😂😂😭😭😭
When Frank smiles - I smile
frank iero is such a beautiful man
I've been saying his name wrong XD
"I-uro"? Nigga don't tell me we all haven't been saying "E-ro". 😂😂😭
I feel you
He's just too good for this world
How does it feel reuniting with tour mates from "way" back.
Get it get it? No? Okay.
I'm a bit late (haha almost a year) but yeah, i thought exactly the same!
i laughed so hard idkw😂
aw my little smol bean is growing up to be such a big smol bean
Okay but if people are still freaking out about how to pronounce iero translate Italian to Italian in google translate and press the little speaker thingy button thingy thing thing geez😂
Not trying to toot my own horn but I've always pronounced right 😂😉💁🏻
same
Pronounced it right***** 😂😂
Same
Party Poison same
Party Poison same ;)
how can someone be this perfect
2:33 i relate
my last name is five letters long and four of them are vowels
i thought your last name was suckscocks
Am I honestly the only one who pronounced his name correctly without having to hear him say it? Wow... Well, brownie points for me I guess! Love ya Frankie!
Pot brownie points
fuck yes!
ACK YOUR PROFILE PIC IS SO AWESOME!!!! THE HOMESTUCKS ARE HERE!!!!
XD funny, another person just commented on it too. Im gonna get around to changing it eventually, its been Terezi for forever
I've def always pronounced it correctly as well! I don't get what the big problem is really... But then again, interviewers say it wrong and he's too polite to correct them I guess. And those happen to be the interviews people watch?
HE'S SO PRECIOUS
please my sister used my RUclips account today and she used the English subtitles so when I played this video, it was still there. So at the beginning of the video, they translated "Frank I Europe" and I'm just dead 😂😂😂😂
When I started listening to mcr I use to think franks name was Lero .. Reason being higher case i looks like a lower case L and I'm just really thick as well so...
Same
When you look at the end of the "I'm not okay" video, it actually says Lero. Still don't know why
+hysterical fire SAME xD
I did too until I saw this video
they put it as Lero in the end credits of the Im Not Okay music video
"No, it's not a sigil." Very smart man right there!
I always liked his hair in the early years of mcr, but then he started changing and it wasn't that good, but now I think it's even better
he's too short for his own good
Hola again
He’s 7inches taller than me
He’s 3 inches taller than me and I’m a 13 year old girl😂😂😂
this whole video i was so distracted by franks everything
Love this . Frank forgot how wonderful this was at a singular level.
i just learned how to say his name omg
For almost a decade I said euro not i-euro duck me lol
Same dude same XD 😂😂😂
Dan and Phil, anyone?
HE LOOKS SO GOOD HERE DAMN
WHEN DOES HE NOT
When he turned the logo on it's side I gasped
Ugh Frank. You're just too much goodness for me to consume in a few minutes. I'm still as attracted to him as I was when he was in Revenge Era MCR and I love him too much for my own health.
Kind of like chocolate. What can you do about it?
"my names frank iero"
i cried
I can spell Frank Oreo perfectly thank you very much.
Frank iero is the one I came to see
Take us back to the *scene* of the early 2000s
this is the first time I've ever met any of these fools
Please tell me im not the only one who had to pause the video when they saw MCR and cry.
He's such a nice guy
The tour ended on my birthday, my favorite person's tour ended on my birthday. I'm gonna need some time to process this.
he's so precious omg
Was anyone else thinking around the beginning of the interview “ he kinda looks like he's forcing a smile” you know when they did the photo shoot. Cause I know I was...
The member is My Chemical Romance do keep in touch from what I know so far. They follow each other on Instagram and also Gerard talked about lending his guitar to Ray Toro and giving a coffee mug to Mikey Way in a periscope he did I think one or two months ago. Definitely no bad blood and they all probably talk once in a while.
I've been trying to figure out wtf that symbol meant thank you for this
击
good band name? haha. he's just about to say My Chemical Romance. Cause that's a fucking great band name.
Three Cheers for Mikey Way xD
Frank's hand gestures kind of reminds me of those dances where it's under a backlight and all you see are the gloves moving. It's awesome!
I've always said his name right, and now everyone is like "I can't believe I've been saying his name wrong"
Frank is life i love him he is so cute and funny and omg yeah
OMG I'VE BEEN PRONOUNCING HIS NAME RIGHT THE WHOLE TIME I CAN'T BELIEVE IT
This was almost 4 years ago... let that sink in.
ILY FRANK
talking to my friend Cassie i'm scREAMING
Oh great, I've been saying his name wrong my whole life
AWESOME!
if you check the credits at the im not okay video, you can actually see that it says Frank Lero, with L, i pronounced that way for years.
I love his voice so much 💞
i've always said "eye-air-oh" and i really like it for some reason
Frerard Waero
I always said it ee-ro
I love you Frank
I want to give a lil bit of my almost nonexistent soul to Gerard, Frank, Mikey, and Ray.
*They are my idols and I’m being Frank for Halloween.*
the moment I saw mcr I burst into tears I miss them so much
All around me are familiar faces
HE'S SO CUTE I'M DEAD
FRANK HAS A GREAT NAME WHAT IS HE TALKING ABOUT
I love this interveiw
I've been confident in pronouncing it I-ear-oh for years. It's I-euro? damn
I feel like he almost never talks about My Chem after the break up
He was heart broken after MCR. He still misses them, he's jus trying to move on
How Savanna says xD and that's why Gerard did Get the gang together.
I
It's iero ...
Nicola Hogarth no shit sherlock
Nicola Hogarth i am aware that his name is frank iero my twitter user has iero IN IT and im seeing him in march twice i was making a joke lmao
I'm so happy I've always said his name right hahah
Frank Iero: Like ❤️
Billie Joe: Comment 😍
Both
he's still so gorgeous! Aw
I WANT TO PERFORM A READING ON FRANNNK
Why are so many crying over his name? Didn't you pay attention to any other part?
HE'S SO SMOL AND CUTE AHHHH
AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO HAS ALWAYS PRONOUNCED AND SPELLED HIS NAME RIGHT THE WHOLE TIME
*YES* ive been saying his name right!
We became friends with the used. NiCe
I wanna hug his adorable face
people: oh no I've said his name wrong so long!
me: *pretends I didn't say my best friend/first loves name wrong for 5 years*
i love these guys
Anytime I want to scare someone, I play fiatc music videos. It works every time. :)))))))))
the four dislikers are Gerard, Mikey, ray, and Bob, cause they are sad they are not with Frank....
its hard to believe that frank in the interview and frank in the music video are the same person
I guess it goes back to when I was 14 and Simple Plan became my first and favorite band that I listened to....and I learned how to pronounce all their names correctly because the french was so confusing.....and I did that with the other bands I used to listen to....including Franks name.....
he's just so good looking in every aspect. like he could be a chick. he could be a hippie. he could be anything and frank iero would still be better looking than anyone i've ever known.
The same issue is with my name as well. Except it's both my last name and first name. Plus there is TOO MANY GODDAMN VOWELS!
Frank is my spirit animal
would anyone happen to know where i could find a .stomachaches. vinyl like the one frank holds up? i've looked all over eBay and stuff and i can't find one
I've seen saying it right all this time thx god
I still don't know if I pronounce his name right.
I pronounce it as eye - ear - oh
Frank you have a beautiful name
